Overview
Half of the United States is waiting for Justice Sylvia Olin Bernstein to die. The other half is praying for her to hold on. At 83, āthe contemptuous S.O.B.ā doesnāt have much time left. What she has is a story, one she has wrested from the grip of history to tell herselfāof how she rose to her historic position on the Supreme Court, and theĀ barriers she broke along the way.
Told over fifty years, from losing her mother at a young age,Ā to falling inĀ love, to navigating an unplanned pregnancyĀ and motherhood,Ā to learning how to spar with a sexist mentor, Sylviaās personal story reveals the intimate truth about who she was as she ascended to her modern throne: not just a brilliant mind, but a daughter, a best friend, a wife, mother, and advocate. While caught in a dramatic tug of war between career and family, truth and convenience, progress and patience, she will be given a chance to change the course of American history ā and give voice, at last, to the majority. Ā
Set against the vibrant sweep of the 20th century, THE MAJORITY brings us into the sacrifices, heartaches, and complex emotional life of a powerful woman ahead of her time, whose life and work turn out to haveĀ supremeĀ stakes.
